To Scale Or Not To Scale: Site Types & Trends
European sites face a distinct growth challenge: the conditions that enabled large site networks elsewhere are not easily replicated here. Yet the pressure to scale — or risk losing sponsor interest — is real. Join us to assess site business models across Europe, including standalone sites, hospital-based research, academic institutions, SMOs, and emerging networks. We’ll review consolidation trends, public vs. private SMO markets, and the often-underexplored value of commercial-academic partnerships. Learn what sponsors actually want across different site types, with an honest conversation about how sites can make a case for dedicated clinical research capacity tailored to their current model and growth goals.
